GALATASARAY SIGN DE BOER
Frank de Boer will play for Turkish club Galatasaray for the coming two seasons, according to the official website of the Istanbul club. Chairman Özhan Canaydýn says he is "very happy that the former Barcelona defender has arrived in Istanbul to strenghten the yellow-red outfit."
Galatasaray reached an agreement with De Boer on Thursday morning, at eleven am, in Amsterdam which was also the first day that the two parties met.
De Boer had two options, namely Ajax Amsterdam and Galatasaray. The 33-year old defender explains that he decided to go to Istanbul because Ajax offered less money and only a one year contract whereas Galatasaray was willing to sign a two year deal with the Duch international.
Galatasaray has brought back Hakan Sükür and the club is holding talks with Pierre van Hooijdonk. The Istanbul outfit finished the season in the Turkish league at the second place.
